Oh:D I have a feeling that the bad programmers won't move anywhere. There is one reason for it. Code part is probably the smallest piece while most of the stuff is in getting actual business requirements that worth a lick.
The best engineers do something besides "getting" requirements. They usually are able to re-interpret, contextualize and evolve them.
Surprisingly, a lot of times programmers are better bring in business experience from other organizations that the business people at the current one don't possess.
So are you saying that bad programmers play a dual role of attending meetings to get business requirements, in a way that AI cannot do?
I am saying, having seen stuff implemented that simply does not make sense to anyone with an understanding of the actual situation on the ground, yes. And the funny thing is, it is not even an llm issue. This is a very, very human issue.
So is the actual work of programming is mostly just sitting in meetings where business people and programmers slowly muddle through requirements?
